We have an evening planned for you that will turn your colleagues green with envy: our second annual Innovators’ Summit Dinner Date. In the next few weeks, we’ll ask you to select your first, second and third choice of table host. You’ll have several guest VIPs and speakers from Discovery 2009 and the Innovator Summit from which to choose. Whether your tastes run to statistical pioneers or leaders in sustainability, we have a date for you. Of course, the 7 p.m. dinner is complimentary with your event registration.

We’ll be at the Swissôtel Chicago
What’s the best place to hold an event where discovery meets innovation? At the Chicago hotel where the river meets the lake, of course.

A sampling of your choices…
Richard De Veaux
Put on your data mining hat for an interactive conversation with this professor of mathematics and statistics, Richard (Dick) De Veaux. You’ll be planning experiments, exploring patterns and predicting outcomes – perhaps all before the main course is served.
Stephen Few
You already love to download his whitepapers and watch his Webcasts. Now you’ll love dining with one of the world’s hottest names in data visualization and information design – Stephen Few.
Stuart Hunter
Who cares what’s on the menu? Dining with Stuart Hunter is something to tell your grandchildren about. No room here to describe his accomplishments or list his accolades. But there’s no need. Dr. Hunter is a pioneer of real-life applications of statistics.
John Sall
John Sall keeps a low profile to be a co-founder of a corporation as large as SAS. But when you get him talking about JMP or statistical theory or innovative applications of analytics, he gets on a roll. And he keeps on going. Join John to see where the conversation goes.
Michael Schrage
MIT researcher, respected author, Summit moderator. Add to that unofficial instigator of interesting conversations, and you’ve pretty well defined Michael Schrage. This pioneer in the economic sociology of modeling, simulation and experimentation in organizations promises to host an interesting table for dinner.
